I just said it wasn't as bad as some of you made it out to be, and it wasn't. There were a few solid episodes in there but I never disagreed that it wasn't as good as it used to be.

When a comedy isn't making me laugh there is a problem because I think I am pretty forgiving when it comes to comedies. Now calling it an awful show would be going to far but it was a shell of it's former self. I would have said the same if season 4 had played out the same with Harmon running things. I really do think I groaned that season more than laughed. What kept me watching was my love for the characters.

I was always adamant that the show felt the same but the comedy was missing, and I said I was willing to wait for that to come during the first few episodes because Harmon had episodes where the laughs werent as frequent as well. I did say at the end of the season it was disappointing, and agree that Harmon gone changed things.

Looking back at this thread it pains me how optimistic I was. I just stopped posting after a while because each episode was disappointing in its own way. Yes some were pretty decent but pretty decent coming from Community did not make me happy.

I held out hope for the first three to four episodes, and then I just sort of shrugged everytime I realized I missed an episode that week. Before I'd wake up Friday saying "sweet, new community is online!", and this season I'd wake up and be like...."oh yeah, community was on last night".

Well I didn't very much like season 4 and I liked the first three seasons. Season 5 could be crap, I have yet to see, but anyone is says season 4 is as good as the first three is a lunatic.

S4 was certainly a drop in overall quality. That being said, given the vibe I've gotten from this thread and others, I feel someone forever lamented the departure of Harmon, and will worship his revival.

or maybe it's because they haven't done much in the way of developing most of the characters and they've almost become caricatures of themselves and because of this there are very few character interactions you as a viewer actually care about which sucks for a show with so many central characters so once they run out of gimmicks and funny original ideas for episodes there isn't that much substance to fall back on hence me saying earlier in this thread that this show has run it's course. maybe.

I actually agree with this more or less.

I'm going to ignore the point being made here and mention that this is one of the longest sentences I've ever seen.

Anyone who thinks the last two seasons of Community are on par with the first two is out of their damn minds. It's not even the same show. Going back and watching some of the old episodes, they're actually some of the fastest and smartest sitcom writing I've ever seen. The last two seasons (particularly 4, as 3 did have some hilarious moments despite not being quite as good) just haven't as funny.

I think the past season has been on-par with the lower-end episodes that have come before. The problem is that there haven't been any of the brilliant high points that the first three seasons, especially the first two, had. I vaguely remember really enjoying one episode (but can't remember exactly which one, so what does that tell you), the rest were ok or worse.
